Bike Riding Lessons


Learning to ride a bike is an important milestone for a child to meet. Most children learn to ride a bike between the ages of 3-8 years with the average being 5 years. Children with decreased coordination may have difficulty learning to ride a bike on their own. Our highly trained occupational therapists will be offering bike riding lessons this summer. They will teach your child how to ride a bike with proper technique and form, with the highest level of safety skills. Call our office to enroll your child today!

Children are increasingly exposed to technology. So what does technology exposure mean for childhood development? Read this article for more information.

Summer Fine Motor Activities

Summer is a time for beaches, pools, sand, ice, lemonade, and backyard barbecues. But it's also a time for learning! Use these ideas to build fine motor skills in kids throughout the summer months so they are prepared to start writing in the fall.

  1. Identifying and expressing emotions - "I feel ___ because ___"
  2. Following rules- card games, Uno, Go Fish
  3. Good listening skills -"Mother May I" and Simon Says
  4. Handling change (using a daily visual schedule, big/little problem, flexibility) incorporate small changes gradually
  5. Reading nonverbal communication - Charades, (acting out emotions)
